To Get Healthy

Everyone wants to lead a long and happy life,
but in many cases lives are cut short by some of the
great killers of today. The killers I am referring
to are heart disease, diabetes and cancer. As these
diseases have become more common over the years it has
made scientists look at the relevance between the
diseases and lifestyle. These diseases are not as
common in areas populated by indigenous people who live
more on greens with fairly stress free lives.
Healthy
living is a key factor!

Although our diets and lifestyles are not the
only cause for these diseases research has
shown they can trigger the illness and, although you
may be fine now, what you put your body through now will
affect you in later life. I know this may seem a
bit doom and gloom but it is the only way to get people
to think about it now. Changing your ways and
improving not only your physical wellbeing but also your
mental health will make a big difference to your life now
aswell as in the future.

The majority of people think they know if
they are at a good fitness level and if their diet is
good or not, but in reality their lives would not
hold up very well if scrutinised. Are your getting
the right nutrition in your
diet? Can you remember when you last had the
recommended five fruit and veg a day? Do you get
all the vitamins you need
from your food? How well would you manage is you had
to walk up 10 flights of stairs?

The trend for some nowadays is to detox to help your body recover from all
the toxins that we are putting into our body, but this
still needs to be done right to get the best
results.

Weight
loss should always be accompanied by exercise but alot of the time the
exercise is forgotten about due to lack of time so our
fitness levels suffer. If you want a healthy body
then during weight loss you should aim for your
ideal weight, plus you should aim to take regular
exercise. Alot of people complain about their
weight, but in reality all they need to do is tone up the
body they have. When you have a regular exercise
program your fitness will improve quicker and usually you
will start to enjoy it when you start to see the
results.

Fitting this in when you have a hectic life can
be hard but if you have a stressful career or are prone
to stress or depression then a
good exercise routine can be a major help to your stress
management, and also lower your anxiety levels to
help avoid panic attacks.

Your health and wellbeing is made of many
different aspects and getting the balance right is very
hard to do. It is little wonder that their are very
few people that can honestly say they feel totally
healthy every day, worse still many people do not who
what it feels like to be truly healthy.
